wood Bailey at tackle. Joe Williams
at center. Roger Riddick and Frank
Weaver in the backfield.
M. Rogerson, of Beav Grass, a |

Chevrolet tens
Training School
1
Detroit? Chevrolet's service and
mechanical department this week
set in motion machinery which will
furnish more than 27,000 Chevrolet
service mechanics, all over the Unit
ed States, with complete knowledge
of the company's new 1940 product
before the latter's introduction to
the public next month.
The program, believed to be unique
in several respects, opens with the
schooling of nine product represen
tatives by the service department
personnel and the Chevrolet engi
neering staff. This initial phase of
the operation is now in progress and
will last eight days. It takes place
in Detroit and in Flint, and covers
not only every detail of the new mod
els' design, but the whole field of
serving and adjustment, with empha
sis on special equipment available for
proper serving of the cars.
The second phase of the program
opens with these men's return to
their respective territories, where
each' will hold a two-day training
session for the zone service person
nel. Tin latter will then conduct
meetings with a still larger total at
tendance, covering, among them, the
entire field of dealer service man
agers Finally, the service managers
school their respective service shop
personnel.?
Training of the countrywide serv
ice organization through a series of
progressive steps, each class of
"graduates" dispersing to train a
much larger group in the field, will
enable Chevrolet to accomplish in
one month a program of tremendous
scope, Ed Hedner, national median
ical manager, pointed out. Every
dealer's service mechanics will be
familiar with the car from bumper
to bumper before a single unit
reaches the public's hands.

Harrv Red Swain
Has Some Reeord
The official tabulations are not
quite ready for release by the league
statistician, but unofficial facts are
sufficient to advance a merited claim
by Harry "Red* Swain to a unique
pitching record in baseball in these
parts during the season just ended
The old war horse, his age not def
initely known, participated in 45
games for the Martins last season.
He pitched 325 innings. The record
gives him credit for 25 victories
against nine losses.
It was not unusual for the old
baseball scholar to pitch the Martins
to victory one day and go back to
drag them out of the mud the fol
lowing. When the Martins went into
the semi-finals against Go-ldsboro,
Swain turned the tide with a vic
tory. and the preliminary season was
put on ice in four successive games.
In the final round-up. the old man
from up Pennsylvania way. pitched
the Martins to two victories over the
Kinston Eagles.
Red was not so hot with the stick
work, but he hammered out a few
homers and d/d some timely hjttmg
to boost his own mound record.
Local fans Nope that the old side
w heeler will /return to the Martin
stronghold again next season.
Two Farmers Talk
Alxnit Farm Facts
It was a right interesting conver
sation Farmers Charlie and Barcil
Daniel held down at the old town
hall last Saturday afternoon while
the sun was bearing down and the
mercury was reaching toward a
point well up in the nineties. A fair
breeze was whipping through the lit
tie alley where a small group was ga
thered to drink up any information
on most any subject
After explaining how the war
would turn out, the two farmers got
around to peanuts Mr Charlie stat
ed he believed the peanut crop
would be fair, that the crop would
be larger than it was last year. He
added, however, that the crop last
year was mighty small. Brother Bar
ci 1. while not disputing the opinion,
stated that he believed the crop
would be short, explaining that the
rains were too heavy in August
"P? sjMbly the rain washed off the
blossoms," a by stander chirped in
to keep the conversation from lag
the blossoms had nothing to do with
the yield Mi". Charlie explained that
he often planted peanuts near the
poultry yard and that the chickens j
kept the blossoms picked Good pro
duction always followed in normal j
seasons. "A long time ago, farmers |
used to pick the blossoms off and
cover them up," Mr Barcil said 111
support of the statement that bios
soms had nothing to do with the
yield.
"Why, the watermelon grows on
the vine before a blossom is seen,"
Farmer Barcil said Farmer Charlie
was not quite so sure about that, and
right there Farmer Barcil declared
his brother did not know so much
about farming. Turning to ClossRob
orson, big Conoho landowner and
retired farmer, Mr Barcil tried to
get him to verify the claim that the
melon actually grows on the vine be
fore a blossom is seen. Pointing out
that he was not interested in blos
soms, that he always centered his at
tentlon on the melon itself, Retired
Farmer Roberson did not prove of
much help and the conversation end
ed
Farmer Barcil did go on to say
that he recalled when they planted
w atermelon seed with the point down
and Irish potato seed with the skin
up.

JUST H>OI.IV
"They thought I was putting
something on the hall, and since
they thought that way I tried to
help them keep right on think
ing," llarry Swain explained at
ter he had been accused ol put
ting "something" on the hall dur
ing the course of the last base
ball season.
If the veteran moundsman put
anything on the hall except that
masterful twist that fooled the
best of 'em. the complainants
never could prove it, and the um
pires, after repeated exaniina
tions diligently executed, were
unable to detect anything w rung.
And Swain comes along at the
end of the season to declare he
was just foolin' with the knock
ers.
